The trunk is stuck closed on my 1999 nissan maxima. the release clicks, but won't work--and the key will not work as well.

CHeck the fuses, also a poor connection in the trunk actuator may be the case, if there is a way to release the trunk from the inside, climb in the trunk, open it and check the actuator for a loose connection.

does it work when you press release on key fob?if so remove the glove box and make sure someone performing work previously in that area didnt foget to plug it in.

the trunk release button has a little metal like a hammer that hits the trunk lock to release if bent will not open or if you disable it by pushing it down to disable trunk release button the key lock is frozen will not work even if key go's in normal. need to replace it. if u need to get in your trunk and if it is empty would be easy to do just open the middle part of the back seat panel and with a thin and sturdy stick and flash light can hit the little hammer to open it . hope it helps

Yes, it must have a switch. It must be on the lock. It could be very hard to get to it.

You have a bad motor at the trunk must replace the electronic trunk motor to work again. good luck

Yes if your lock actuator is not stuck on unlock.Try unpluging the harness to rhe electric lock,and see if it will lock and stay locked using the key.If ti works then your okay.if you still have the problem then your tounge that holds the trunk down needs to be replaced.

lock and close the doors, then unlock the drivers door with the key

check the fuse or take ot trunk switch from door panel and jump it to open trunk! or go to a lock smith and he can make a key for trunk

Its located close to where the shift is, it looks like a key hole you can use your key and push down in the hole then you will be able to move shift. Good Luck

Actually, this car has security system that prevent the trunk opened without using the master key. I often use this to lock my trunk. Just slid up the tiny lever upward to allow the trunk open from inside. the lever is on the back trunk (in the center, behind the Tail light) where the trunk door hook up with the lock system.
